THQ said it has shipped more than four million units of Saints Row: The Third and the popularity of the game has contributed to higher-than-expected digital sales. UFC Undisputed 3, which was released in February, has also achieved slightly higher-than-expected sales, the company said.

The company narrowed its projected loss to between 10 cents and 20 cents a share on sales of $160 million to $170 million. Its February projection was a per-share loss of 35 cents to 50 cents on sales between $130 million and $150 million, below analysts estimates at the time.

THQ saw its fiscal third-quarter loss widen as customers ignored its uDraw Game Tablet during the holidays, prompting the game developer to discontinue the tablet and launch a restructuring plan that includes ending its children's game efforts.

Shares closed Tuesday at 45 cents and were inactive premarket. The stock has fallen 33% over the past three months.
